Last night's episode was really great. Tyrion and Daenerys' conversation was good. Seeing Cersei get ladled, after all of the crap she has done, felt sooo good. And of course the white walker attack at the end of the episode. Although the fighting in that scene suffered a little too much from Bourne syndrome, it was still good.

 

That last scene where the white walker raises his arms and you see, from John's perspective with no cutaways, the dead wildlings standing up was just epic. The no cutaway part was important in my opinion. I think seeing it like that, from the boat, made it feel incredibly real and ominous. Just a great end to the episode.

 

Side note: anyone else really sad that the Wildling woman died? (the one that was in the meeting with John, and who put her two kids on a boat) I wanted to see more of her.  :woot:  :/

My favourite moment of the season! Given her cousin is squealing on her does he or anyone else know the children aren't related to Robert?

That's a good question. I want to say no, because if they did know then wouldn't they be going after Tomin (spelling?) knowing that he's not a true heir to Robert? I think they just know she and Jamie were a thing, which is enough I guess.

I removed any emotions I had for that character the second she put her kids on the Boat and told them she'd come later. Also, she was far too nice for a wildling. I don't fall for that cheap and easy emotional attachment to make me care when they die crap. At that point I just wanted her to die to confirm my suspicions lol.

Agreed. I was fully expecting her to die as well, but I'm sad because she was nice to look at.  :shifty:

The whole battle and especially the white walker raising his arms at the end was so freaking epic. More well done that most movies. Can't wait for Sunday. I'm sure we all know that everything will come to a head then we'll have to wait for S6.

Good episode except I was really dissapointed with the White Walkers. They were just typical dumb zombies except those white ones. :/

 

White Walkers are the icy white dudes. They have the ability to raise the dead and command them, and those guys are pretty much the regular zombies, also known as just 'the undead' or 'wights' in the show.

 

 

Is this how they appear in the books?

 

Pretty much, but there's a difference between the mindless zombies (wights) and the intelligent ice bros (White Walkers).

Oh, I didn't know that. I haven't read the books and thought from previous seasons that they can raise the dead and they become White Walkers and there are army of those coming.

without being spoilerish... everyone on teh interwebs is saying they just finished books 5 in some plots... how will this affect the following season being that george hasn't published 6 ?

The show will deviate, sometimes heavily, from the books now.  George gave them an outline of roughly how to continue it though to stay somewhat close to the books he'll publish.  I'm hoping for book 6 sometime this year or next though.

Didn't she say she wasn't going to do anymore nude scenes? The walk of shame is coming for Lena Headey apparently.

 

Anyway, I thought the last episode was awesome. The attack of the White Walkers came a bit unexpected and fast too after moving so slowly these past seasons.

      Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4

      Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
